2 Proposed Guiidelliines for Associiate-Degree Curriicullum iin Computer Sciience Computer Science involves design and innovation developed from computing principles. This curriculum focuses on the theoretical foundations of computing, algorithms, and programming techniques, as applied to operating systems, artificial intelligence, informatics and the like. Developed in parallel with the five-year Interim Review of the baccalaureate volume. Includes learning outcomes assessment for CS I, CS II, CS III, and Discrete Structures. Reviewers needed. Under Devellopment: Guiidelliines for Associiate-Degree Career Curriicullum iin Informatiion Technollogy Information Technology involves the design, implementation and maintenance of technology solutions and support for users of such systems. This curriculum focuses on crafting hardware and software solutions for networks, security, client-server and mobile computing, web applications, multimedia resources, communications systems, and the planning and management of the technology lifecycle. Will revise Programs to Support Computing in a Networked Environment published in Will include both IST and ICT curricula.

3 Guiidelliines for Associiate-Degree Curriicullum iin Computer Engiineeriing (published 2007) Computer Engineering involves the design and construction of processor-based systems comprised of hardware, software, and communications components. This curriculum focuses on the synthesis of electrical engineering and computer science as applied to the design of systems such as cellular communications, consumer electronics, medical imaging and devices, alarm systems and military technologies. Collaborative effort with the ACM and IEEE-CS Joint Task Force on Computing Curricula. Guiidelliines for Associiate-Degree Curriicullum iin Software Engiineeriing (published 2005) Software Engineering involves the design, development and testing of large, complex, and safety-critical software applications. This curriculum focuses on the integration of computer science principles with engineering practices as applied to constructing software systems for avionics, healthcare applications, cryptography, traffic control, meteorological systems and the like. Collaborative effort with the ACM and IEEE-CS Joint Task Force on Computing Curricula.
